Spinal Decompression – Does Spinal Decompression Work?
Anyone who has suffered a spinal injury knows and understands how painful and difficult it can be to try to recover from the injury. A damaged spine can cause excruciating back pain, neck pain, headaches, even referred pain felt in the feet or hands. The spine is essentially the control center for nerve sensations in the human body. With its extensive network of nerves, back discs, neck discs and joints, there are a number of different things that can go wrong with your spine, especially if you’ve been in an accident or have a chronic condition like arthritis.
You may have heard of non-surgical spinal decompression, which is a method of chiropractic vein therapy – all chiropractic therapies are completely non-invasive and completely natural. A therapy like non-surgical spinal decompression will never require invasive surgery, prescription drugs, or dangerous procedures.
Chiropractic therapy methods like spinal decompression are holistic, all natural healing. Since it is not always well understood, in this article we will explain more about spinal decompression and whether it might be an effective therapy for you.
Does this treatment work?
Spinal decompression works by gently separating the nerves and discs that are compacted in the spine (and therefore causing the pain). Pinched nerves and compacted discs are some of the most common injuries involving the back and neck, and the goal of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is to resolve this issue. This is accomplished through a non-surgical traction machine.
The patient will be comfortably strapped to a specially designed chiropractic table and straps will then be attached to the machine. The chiropractor will adjust the traction device, a fully computerized process customized for each patient, to apply a very gentle type of vacuum pressure. During therapy, the damaged nerves and discs will be separated and then returned to their proper places in the spine.
Once non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is completed, which can last from one visit to a short series of visits, the spine will be properly aligned. When the spine is properly aligned, all the pressure that was causing the pain will go away, resulting in pain relief.
This type of non-surgical therapy is extremely effective because it allows a damaged spine to be properly rearranged. No amount of medicine can do what spinal decompression can! Medications are often prescribed to relieve pain, but this is a temporary solution and the pain will return as soon as the effect of the medication has worn off. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy actually eliminates the problem at its source. For this reason, it is generally considered to be one of the most effective and gentle ways to resolve pain for patients who wish to follow all natural healing methods.
It works?
The answer is a definite “Yes” to almost everyone who has tried this, especially when compared to other therapies that are only short-term fixes. Non-surgical spinal decompression can be a long-term solution for back pain, neck pain, and chronic pain conditions of all kinds.
